BDS Fail Of The Day: Brenner There, Done That Edition

On Tuesday, Students For Justice in Palestine (SJP) UNSW organized a protest against those Zionist purveyors of chocolate goodness, Max Brenner. Although 197 people indicated on their Facebook page that they would attend, less than 50 attended.

The “huge” crowd caught in action (SJP UNSW FB page)

Press TV had to characterize them as “rowdy” to compensate for the lack of numbers.

Here are the less-than-50-people in all their rowdy glory.

Additional fail points for the antisemitic comments appearing on the FB page, as well as their lame reaction to them.

Protester Lutfi Zayed, 20, accused Max Brenner of being complicit in Israeli war crimes, but denied the group was anti-semitic or had made anti-semitic comments on its Facebook page.

“Those comments made on Facebook, we don’t know about them,” he told AAP.

“What would you say about Islamaphobia on Facebook? We see that too.”

This, coming from someone who posted this on the FB page:

Looks like Zayed is speaking with forked tongue, with differing messages for the public and group members.

Update: More fail!

A KEY supporter of the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement has been caught on camera admitting “there isn’t really any connection” between Australian Max Brenner chocolate shops and Israel.Palestine Action Group spokesman Patrick Harrison made the admission in a video of a BDS protest last November at the Max Brenner outlet in Parramatta, in Sydney’s west, posted recently on YouTube by a graduate filmmaker

Update: Parenting fail (via Twitter):

  1. would be nice if white south africans spent a little time repairing the damage they have reaped upon the indigenous aussies

    for decades it was nigh on impossible to immigrate to aussieland

    and yet it seems they have dropped all regs regarding immigration and now allow the wretched refuse from muzzie countries in….what up with that?

  2. btw, even if brenner were not franchised and was directly controlled by strauss, how does that make the boycott any less an act of jew hate?

    because strauss give care packages to the idf?

    and i really appreciate the first muzzie arab speaker, who makes it quite clear that he believes all of israel is illegal

    just wish they would stop misquoting ben gurion…makes me question if they actually get any sort of education at university or even know how to use the google

  3. why arent there any brenner’s in los angeles?

    i know nothing about the biz, but would love to get a franchise

    cuz im an ess disturber

    1. Jim from Iowa

      I would settle to be one of the wait staff at Max Brenner’s Restaraunt at Caesar’s in Vegas. I was quite attracted to the decadent selections placed upon the deliciously evil desert cart I spotted on my last trip. Zionist Weight Gain Plan of Death!

      1. if the bdsholes were smart, they would take your way of attack

        boycott because of the evil zionist plot to make the world obese

  4. 1.Max Brenner’s hot chocolate is delicious, I recommend it.

    2. As to this “movement”: at its core is definitely a blatant Judenhass. The main difference between the m.o. of Kristallnachters is simply the uniforms: from SS uniform, to chador and Yasser Arafat scarves (a criminal who stole billions from the Palestinian people). And yes,there are what the delightful Howard Jacobson calls “ahamed Jews” among these hate-groups, but it was ever thus, just look up “Judenraete”.

    1. whoops:
      1. the main difference between the mo.o. of Kristallnachters…add: “and the so-called BDS”…

      2. The delightful Howard Jacobson in his “The Finkler Question” called these kind of Jews that participate in the demonization and defaming of Israel “ashamed Jews”, not “ahamed” Jews. (although “ahamed” doesn’t look half bad as far as neologisms go ;))

  5. Hi all, Patrick Harrison of the “fail” here. Just wanted to respond to the article’s misrepresentation of our aims (repeated by commenters).

    Boycotting Max Brenner has nothing to do with the identity of the company’s owners, just as the campaign to boycott the French engineering firm Veolia for its operations in the occupied territories has nothing to do with the religion or race of its bosses.

    It is about raising awareness of the Israeli government’s crimes in Palestine, and targeting companies involved in those crimes like Strauss (or their local franchises and operations, which also includes two brands of dips, Copperpot and Red Rock Deli).
